Silver just broke through $81 per ounce on open—that's a staggering 182% gain since the start of the year. We've been pretty vocal about the bullish case for precious metals, but honestly? This rally is starting to feel stretched. The momentum is undeniable, yet when any asset moves this dramatically in such a short window, it raises questions worth asking. Are we looking at genuine macro tailwinds, or is this the kind of euphoria that tends to precede a pullback? The speed and scale of this move is worth watching carefully—especially for anyone thinking about their broader portfolio allocation.
